The 15th Anniversary Edition of the Event will see Our Biggest Line-up of Experts Sharing New Ways of Thinking & Practical, Actionable Strategies That Can Be Implemented Immediately
The automotive cyber security risk landscape is constantly evolving, vehicles today are full of possible vulnerabilities. Malicious activity from threat actors is up 30 - 40% in 2024, and it is only a matter of time before vehicles gets compromised. Attack vectors are changing, attack surfaces are increasing daily as more technology is added, and vehicles are getting smarter and more connected to other parties than ever before.
Open-source protocols, connection to back-end interfaces and the cloud, and FOTA have given attackers the ability to not only launch an attack on a larger scale but also duplicate the attack to other vehicles. Major automotive companies, mainly in Asia, are now using advanced cybersecurity as a way to get customer attention and increase confidence to buy their vehicles. With recognition growing that a compromised vehicle is not only a financial problem but more importantly a safety and privacy problem, security is being viewed as a luxury vehicle feature and a way to win customers.
'Getting R155/R156 Type Approval is the minimum requirement at the baseline.If we want to win markets and gain customer, we will need to do more than that.'
As the automotive industry's drive to have vehicles connected all the time grows, and cutting-edge AI and LLMs are integrated into vehicles, vehicle cybersecurity becomes more and more important, requiring more advanced cybersecurity management systems and continuous monitoring and improvement of programs and processes. Threats are likely to triple, if not quadruple.
We will welcome vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, thought-leaders, technology companies, insurance providers and other stakeholders to Dearborn, Michigan in March 2025, with the objective of giving them 'New Ways of Thinking from New Faces' - which means you get to hear actionable technical insights, discover cutting-edge technologies and solutions, and learn practical strategies you can implement immediately.
New risk & threat actors that automotive companies need to protect against in 2025 and beyond.
Leadership perspectives on the industry’s drive to have vehicles connected all the time, and the impact on automotive cybersecurity.

Plus many more in-depth, technical sessions.
Good for networking and seeing the current state of different Automotive Cybersecurity activities... The participation was of great value. The speaker line-up was strong and the discussion culture was amazing.
A great event… I liked how there was a mix of both breakout sessions, panels and solo speakers.
This event was valuable... meeting new people from the industry and discussing issues that related to all of us, hearing new ideas etc.
Great event to be up to speed and network.
